Dutch historian Sheng Scheijen's book is the most comprehensive biography to date of Sergei Diaghilev (1872-1929).
Diaghilev dreamed of becoming a singer, composer, and art critic, but he set out to compose a much more mysterious and global work - an image of future art. The ability to grasp and bring to light the new and unprecedented is the very essence of his genius. Diaghilev's Russian Seasons defined the reputation of Russian art as the most advanced, extraordinary and exciting ballet phenomenon for a hundred years to come.
Visionary and tyrant, soul catcher and incorrigible loner, visionary and provocateur, he heard the music before the composer who composed it and saw the dance before the first pas. Scheyen's book is unique and interesting not only for the main character, but also for the great variety of life details of Russian and European modernism, for the dramaturgy of relationships between the main names of music, theater and painting of the twentieth century. After all, during his short life Diaghilev communicated and collaborated with Chekhov, Rimsky-Korsakov, Bakst, Benois, Rodin, Debussy, Matisse, Picasso, Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Mayakovsky, Balanchine, Coco Chanel and others.
Diaghilev's biography looks like an extravagant adventurous novel, although everything in it is true.
The book contains rare photographs, documents, costume and set designs - priceless evidence of an art that lives beyond all borders.
